This show was put together from records found in a dust-covered box, on the top shelf of one of KFAI's record shelves. I real nice mish-mash of tunes. Check out the Dig Up the Roots blog for more information.

Eddie Sauter was a trumpet player, but most notably an arranger with a unique sense of what a tune should sound like. If modern jazz was moving in this direction (hold one of your arms out) Eddie was moving, with no uncertainty, in the opposite. Interested in every sound and piece, Sauter developed interesting and unique ways of physically locating people in recording sessions (before the days of numerous microphones and multi tracking) to isolate sounds and really bring out harmonics. On this...

Jazz quartets today. Starting with the misty cloudy sounds of Lester Young’s September In The Rain (which it was this morning) to the crazy frantic foolery of Slim Gaillard’s Atomic Cocktail and as many stops in between. Cool man, cool. Find out more at the Dig Up the Roots blog.

On todays show we heard a bunch (30!) tracks taken from 78 RPM records I recently got at a flea market. I went to a flea market recently and found 50 78’s for $35.00 – I turned down the booth owners request for me to buy all 1000 plus though. Everything I played today, except the last two records, I bought at this sale. The music in this show ranged from country fiddling to Hawaiian influenced pap to some really hot jazz to what was supposedly comedy (Rural Monologue with Violin Specialty)....

Do you wanna’ JUMP children? If the answer is yes, then this was the place to be! 2 hours of honking, pounding, jump blues from 1949 – 1954. Listen in and get a brief listen into and an idea of one of the foundations of where R-N-R came from. Fast loud horns, pianos pounded so hard it’s a wonder they’ve still got all the keys. Vocals with a fury that couldn’t just be sung, they needed to be shouted! Jump blues came bubbling over the top of the stew pot that was post WWll America. A...

This show was curated by cartoon historian, Tim Fay, and marks the second time that he was a guest DJ. The first time was music from the 1920's & 1930's. This time it is music from, inspired by and cashing-in on the cartoon / pop-music crossovers of the 1960's & 1970's. Listen to the first show with Tim here.

The Technological Retreat radio show excerpts presented here originally aired in June, August and September of 1989. I’ve been presenting these sound collages – radio mixes, in chronological order, for the most part throughout the series of 28 podcasts. I wanted to preserve that particular flow of time. However, all the good, bad and ugly things that exist in time, run out of it eventually. Whatever “It” maybe, it is finite. In one of the mixes included I announce the upcoming end of...

Time to take a Technological Retreat into a few summer nights of July and August, 1989. It sure seemed like a hot time in the ol’ town those nights. The first piece contains a lengthy spot with some of KFAI’s notoriously wacky radio theatre producers for an upcoming epic evening of programming entitled “Weather Proof Windows of the Mind”. It was bittersweet finding this piece because it contains, among others, the talents of Jerry Modjeski – a long time KFAI talent, good friend and...

This is what the world sounded like to me, and now you can hear it too. Welcome to the 26th Technological Retreat podcast. This show is from two nights in June of 1989, the 11th & 19th, and from what I can tell by listening in, I was having a pretty good time 32 years ago this month. Two of the three mixes are over 20 minutes each, the second one nearly 30 minutes long, so you can really hear and feel how the weird could stretch out through the night. The first mix is a sorta jazz salad...

Welcome to the 25th Technological Retreat podcast. These radio recordings are from April, May and June of 1989. While listening through and editing these recordings I’ve sometimes been completely stumped as to what the hell I’m listening to. I was recording (pirating) so many sounds from so many media sources: Cable and broadcast T.V. & broadcast and shortwave radios. I’d also make recordings of family vacations like most people took pictures. We hear some fragments of these too,...

Welcome to the 24th Technological Retreat podcast. These radio recordings are from March and April of 1989. Among other samplings and soundscapes are some recordings made at amusement parks while on a family vacation. Another neat surprise is a long promo for the KFAI show Little City in Space. The (very) creative forces behind Little City in Space were very kindred spirits of mine.

Welcome to the 21st episode of the Technological Retreat podcasts. All of the mixes in this program are from January of 1989. Exciting news is presented on KFAI’s “Brand New”, AP news machine. The kind of thing that used to continually print the news on a long roll of paper. This episode starts with a remix made of me that some listeners under the name of “Circle of Bring” sent in.

There’s some long and loud bombastic stuff too. Something I realized that I should share with the listening audience: All of the times and telephone numbers mentioned in these recordings are no longer correct, and you should not call-in or plan your day according to them.

This forth episode of Technological Retreat features mixes from three nights in November of 1988. Lots of varied sounds that go around in this hour. Tibetan Monks & Humpback Whales in dub – Stravinsky & The Marx Brothers & John Michael Jarre fight it out – Muhamad Ali battles Mr Tooth Decay in an alternate reality – more media manipulations and somewhat witty banter.

Technological Retreat, an audio experience like no other! This program contains 9 mixes and / or Sound Collages , five of which are over 9 minutes in length, so you can really hear ideas develop and change over longer periods. These sound collages are basically playing more than one thing at a time, often with audio effects. Remember that there is No Logic in technological. I would do this and also play sets of music. I mean, it was a five-hour program, that’s a lot of time. For anyone from...

Technological Retreat was an experimental radio show and my experiments were the sound collages that I’d fill the airwaves with. This is the second episode in this set but the 16th, of 1-hour re-broadcasts. All of these sounds that you’ll be hearing were originally broadcast in October and November of 1988, somewhere in the middle of the night. During this period, I was making lots of background audio tapes of radios and TV flipping from channel to channel. Enjoying the static and...

Several years ago, I digitized over 100 cassettes of these shows and have been taking the sound collages or mixes, and putting them together in 1-hour presentations. 15 of these programs are available on KFAI’s website and on Spotify. Now I’m here to announce more of the same! Sound collage is the live layering and mixing of different audio sources to create new pieces. Similar to the creation of a visual collage. Not an idea that I invented, but one I certainly played around with. My stuff...

And the sounds keep coming. Podcast number 15 contains 5 mixes from 3 nights – and that equals 15…Three summer nights from 1988 to be exact. Listening in to these old radio shows again has been enjoyable. I’m actually impressed with how contemporary these sound collages sound. Maybe the noise in this world is finally catching up to the way the world sounded like to me back then. Listen in for spacey ethereal feedbackery, crazed dialog and a completely over the top homage to William...

Hello and thanks for tuning in. Podcast 14 contains 3 minutes from July 4 th that didn’t fit in the last episode, and almost 56 minutes from August 22 nd. It sounds like there was a lot going on up in the studio that night. Lots of little sounds making bigger sounds in these long mixes. Listening to these shows again has reminded me of that unhindered creative energy I felt and how much fun it was to do these shows live. I hope you are enjoying these as well.

Ain’t no place like MOTOWN, but Northern England sure sounded close… The Motown sound makes me think of my early childhood, growing up outside Chicago and discovering radios. There is an optimism in these sounds for a world that could have/should have, but didn’t happen. We hit some of the hits but featured a lot of previously unreleased material from the literal basement vault of the early studio in Detroit. Stevie Wonder when he was 13, unissued tracks by the likes of The Velvelettes,...

I’ve always liked Compilation records. Get the record because of one artist or song, and then, when lucky, you find those gems…Compilation records, sampler CDs, mix-tapes. These all hold the promise of the unknown. When I first started collecting records I would seek out compilations – often buying the recording for one or two songs that I knew of, but really looking forward to the unknown. Today’s show represents a small varied sampling of these collections. Early blues on Yazoo, jazzy...

Today’s music was focused, primarily, on a several year period in the mid to late 1930’s. We heard two hours’ worth of some great early swing music, before it became the treacle covered sentimental journey of an overplayed nostalgia soundtrack.

Welcome to the Thirteenth Technological Retreat podcast. Thanks for staying tuned and coming back. The five mixes presented here are from July of 1988. The first two are from the fourth and the other three from a tape that just says July ’88. This episode is action packed and full of nuts: Angry self-help teachers, freaked-out religious fanatics in DUB, classical nightmares and helpful literary advice from Captain Caffeine, among other late-night tales.

The first mix from February 17 th 1986 features a long example of Sound Mobile recordings in the background. The Sound Mobile was in my basement at the time and was like a giant wind chime that you could walk through. Bicycle frames, tanks and resonant metal things hanging from the ceiling by guitar and...

Welcome to the third episode of the Technological Retreat webcasts, where I’m presenting the Sound Collages or live radio mixes that I was making in the middle of the night back in the late 1980’s. One of the things I enjoyed most about late-night radio was the creative freedom. More often than not, the radio stations were just thankful to have people up there let alone caring what they did as long as it followed FCC guidelines and decorum of course. This was before the age of robot DJ’s...

Welcome to the second episode of the Technological Retreat podcasts, presenting the live radio mixes that I referred to as Sound Collages. That’s what I called these mixes, but I don’t think I necessarily invented the term. I had done late night radio in college before moving to Minneapolis in 1985 and enjoyed having a lot of time to play a lot of different music. Having an overnight show on KFAI allowed me to stumble through and experiment with this style of sound and to be able to really...

Welcome to episode one of the Technological Retreat webcasts, with three of the Sound Collages that I spun into the night. This begins with a station ID and two mixes from January Thirteenth, 1986. The station ID and intro are done by Larry Englund, recently departed and much-loved person within KFAI. This recording was made when KFAI used a boombox to record air checks with. It sounds like it wasn’t tuned in very well that night. This first mix began around 2:20 AM, the second mix featured...

A collection of late 1970's, UK Mod 45's. In high school, my friend Sam had all of these records and I recently found the tape that I made back then. Lots of very bright guitars but not the brightest lyrics. Music from bands included are: Secret Affair, Squire, Purple Hearts, The Chords, Lambrettas and Merton Parkas . A nice slice from a small piece of R-N-R history. Please go to the Dig Up The Roots Mix Tape page for more information.

A listener request to hear Jimi Hendrix played backward. This show was recorded in 1989, before digital anything, so this request took some working out but was very straight forward to accomplish. I recorded the track in the stations production room on a Reel - Reel tape while something was playing live on air. When the recording was done, play the tape in reverse on that Reel. Easy and very cool. Please check out the Technological Retreat blog.

Air check recordings circa late 1990 - early 1991. These are from the international music radio program Musica Mundana, that I was hosting on alternate Sunday afternoons from 1990 - 1994. Two wonderful examples of what would happen when the love for my infant daughter and love of live radio met.

The "Tape of Leisure" series were made during a period of time that was very stressful, when I lived in two places that were 150 miles apart. I'd spend 1/2 the week in one place, the other in the other. I made that 3+ hour drive twice a week and needed good music to listen, relax, focus and laugh too.

This is the beginning portion of the theme from my old late night radio show - Technological Retreat . It was thirty years ago, November of 1985, that I began doing a late night radio show where I made sound collages. The live on-air mixing and layering of a wide variety of recorded material. It was a lot of fun. These mixes were not sample based, or dance oriented music, more like soundtracks.

Al 'Jazzbo' Collins climbs up Ub Iwerks bean stalk. This is a copy of one of the first video mash-ups we did at the now closed Suburban World Theater cartoon brunch series. The free form style of Ub Iwerks' animation blends sooo well with the hip fairy tale telling of Al Collins and piano playing of Steve Allen, that at certain times the synchronicity is hard to believe. But believe it or not, I'm certain you will enjoy it. Please check out the Frames & Grooves blog for more information.

Mr Gosh is Luke's DJ friend and the Lady Miss Ian provides video content, much gleaned from these wonderful, vast, and continually surprising INTERNET ARCHIVE. We go under the name Frames & Grooves . The audio is provided by the Ancient Mix Master - a 2 Turntable, 3 Tone arm DJ set from the late 1930's.

Hotel orchestras, Waltzes, Fox Trots and more at 78 RPM. When it’s 78 O’Clock, the past is always the present. This show was a sampling of lighter, pop music found on 78 RPM records. Groups like Herbert Gordon’s Adelphi Hotel Whispering Orchestra, The Manhatten Merrymakers, Horace Heidt and his Musical Knights and Nev Simons and his Ambassadors Of Note provide music suitable for either foreground or background. Nothing very stellar or memorable here, just great music to meander by....

This show from 11/23/2004 is a collection of Mood and Background music on 78 RPM records. This music was intended to be played with silent films and home movies and is is really delightful music.

This genre seems to be one of those that time was trying to bury. We all know of Elvis, Gene, Jerry and the cast of characters with long sideburns and twisting hips.

Ranging from cute Shirley Caddell's Big Bounce, to the terrifying Susan McCrory & The Cannibals' Rovin' Gal, to the sultry Kirby sisters' Blond In Red Velvet, and the weird Juke Box On...

Pygmies, Swiss, instructional, techno yodeling and early...
